BATTERY CHARGING 

 

A  voltmeter  is  provided  to  check  the  battery.  For  best  results  recharge  the  battery  after  each  use,  but 
certainly before it falls below 11.5 volts, as the life of the battery may be shortened otherwise. In general, 
more frequent recharging is recommended. 

1.

 

Remove the memory card from the logger. 

2.

 

Connect the RED lead to the BATTERY. 

3.

 

Connect the AC charger connector to the logger's quick-connect plug. 

4.

 

Connect the AC plug of the charger to a duplex receptacle. 

5.

 

Observe the LED on the charger body. 

Red

 indicates the battery is being charged, 

Green

 indicates the 

battery is fully charged. 

If necessary the charger can be connected while doing a long-term logging session; however, precautions 
must be taken as the charger is not rated for out-door use and must be protected from the weather.

CLOCK BATTERY REPLACEMENT 

 

The S10 Logger has an internal battery to maintain the time and date when the power to the unit is 
switched off. Replace the battery if the clock no longer maintains the correct time when the logger 
power is disconnected. The logger requires one CR2032 Lithium 3 volt battery. 

1.

 

Disconnect power to the S10 Logger by unplugging the red terminal wire from the 12V battery. 

2.

 

Carefully lift the logger out of the foam to expose the bottom shell of the logger enclosure. 

3.

 

Remove the two screws that hold the shell together, and lift the bottom shell off. 

4.

 

Slide the old battery out and dispose of properly. 

5.

 

Install the new battery with the positive side uppermost. 

6.

 

Replace the cover and install the screws. 

7.

 

Refer to Section 6.2 (Timekeeping) for instructions on setting the clock time.
